Into the wild

Ran back to KKB for a few days with me.

Ma man!

Maa man!

Thanks to Antares for his assistance & hospitality, and some doses of insight. He lives in a Temuan village on the road to Fraser’s Hill.

I also managed to watch What About Me, a superb musical docudrama about our humanity.

They soon recovered n had their revenge

Unfortunately for me, d pups are available for adoption, so they’ll probably be gone on my next visit.

Was great knowing them.

  1. Love the pictures and your story , Deep. When i looked at some of the pictures it gave such a calm feeling to my heart. The puppies are so cute!! love, love, love it!!! I feel like going to KKB now:-) Thx for sharing!!

    • Legal? Haha! R u serious? Depends man. According to the fuckin govt, its probably illegal, but i dont care. Who are they to tell me how to chill when am alone? In dat case, they shd arrest all of us d second we’re born, coz we born naked. Society has made nudity evil, and bad, and sick.
      There’s this offense (i know of via experience!), called “Berkelakuan tidak senonoh di khalayak ramai”, which i guess means behaving indecently in public. They could nail u for dat (assuming u were like in PUBLIC). U could just pay d fine, or fight it in court.
      The deeper in d forest u go, d more likely u can skinny dip coz there wont b a soul around. Except d trees n rivers n animals. Who I’AM SURE dont mind

  2. is the any place to stay at kkb ? or you’d have to bunk in at antares’ place ?

    i bet the stars at night are still mesmerizing.

    been there ages ago (back in 98/99) and been longing since..

    hope you did check out lubuk pusing mate.

    cheers

    • Yea, he has space for his guests. There are places to stay in town, but its not d same thing. U cd always camp near d river. Stars are awesome on a clear nite. U shd go again.
      Not sure abt lubuk pusing. Dont know d names of d spots i swam at

  3. Haha. My friend the Marlboro Man of Malaysia. Cool report on your 5-day retreat, Deep! Next time let me know lah when you post stuff like this… found it “by accident” more than a year later thru Joyce… 😉
